Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
But then she thought again, Qin Chen had already helped her pay back 2 million yuan, and besides, it was Qin Chen's own money, and it was his business who he wanted to give it to.
Lin Sui sighed and told herself that Fang Zhiyou had been with Qin Chen for three years, so she deserved some money. She stood up and slowly cleaned the house until the early morning, then took a shower and went to bed.
When the alarm clock rang, her head ached terribly, but she still struggled to get out of bed. As a working woman, she had no choice.
Qin Chen was still asleep. After washing up, Lin Sui drove straight to work. She really didn't want to take the bus anymore today.
Arriving at the company, Jasmine and Lily exchanged glances when they saw Lin Sui still wearing yesterday's clothes. Lin Sui didn't bother to pay attention. Ever since she realized that Jasmine was targeting her, intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't want to put on a smile anymore. A team leader who was in charge of two people really thought he was the leader?
Although Lin Sui was depressed, the manuscripts he submitted were still beautiful. Jasmine's sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger, especially after she discovered that her boss treated Lin Sui differently.
In the conference room, Lin Sui projected his manuscript onto the TV for everyone to read. The more Gu Yuan read, the more satisfied he became, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui also felt that her writing was excellent. She silently straightened her back, a look of pride on her face, which amused Gu Yuan. Jasmine sat across from her, looking completely pissed. She just couldn't understand why the boss liked Lin Sui, who wasn't very good-looking. And she was already old, almost thirty.
Thinking about how handsome Lin Sui's boyfriend was, she got even angrier. This world is so fucking unfair!
"Mai Sui, was it your boyfriend who brought you here this morning?" Jasmine knew that her change of topic was abrupt, but she just wanted to let her boss know that Lin Sui already had a partner.
"Ah... no, I drove here by myself." Although Lin Sui felt it was strange to suddenly talk about this, he also cooperated and answered Jasmine's question.
"Mai Sui's boyfriend is very handsome! Boss, I think he is as handsome as you!" Jasmine continued.
"Really?" Gu Yuan was obviously not interested in this topic. After answering casually, he continued to shift the topic to the script.
Lily looked at Jasmine in confusion, not understanding why she kept talking about Lin Sui's boyfriend. Jasmine looked at her boss's reaction and felt secretly happy.
"Jasmine, I think there is nothing wrong with Mai Sui's manuscript. Do you have any questions?" Gu Yuan asked Jasmine.
"No." It's funny. If you ask her that, would she dare to say yes?
"Okay, let's shoot it this way. Mai Sui will join the crew tomorrow." Lin Sui nodded.
Qin Chen slept until the afternoon before waking up. The hangover made him feel confused and disoriented. He looked at the neat and new house and was a little confused for a moment. He realized that Lin Sui brought him here last night. He subconsciously looked around for Lin Sui, but suddenly saw that the clock showed 3:15.
Yes, she must have gone to work a long time ago.
He was so hungry that he opened the refrigerator, but it was empty. He took out his phone and ordered takeout.
It was already past four in the afternoon when he finished his meal. Someone invited him to another dinner. He sat on the sofa in a daze, thinking that he had attended many dinners like a grandson during this period, but had not successfully negotiated a single project. The situation was even more difficult than when he first started his business. He wondered if Zhou Dang was behind it.
He rubbed his face, but replied that he would go. When he walked out of the house, he found that the car was gone. He sent a message to Lin Sui, and Lin Sui replied that the car was taken away by her.
Qin Chen didn't reply and took a taxi to the dinner party.
Lin Sui looked at the message box with no reply, wondering if Qin Chen was angry. She felt a little regretful now. Qin Chen's home was actually very close to her company, and it was convenient for her to take the bus. And Qin Chen had to go out to discuss business, so how could he not have a car to show off? Although her rickety car was not much of a showpiece either.
Qin Chen arrived at the dinner a little late. The private room was already full of people. He raised his hands and bowed.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."
"Come, Xiao Qin, let me introduce you to a big boss." Someone put his arm around Qin Chen's shoulder and took him to the other side.
"Okay, thank you very much..." Before he could finish his words, Qin Chen saw Zhou Dang sitting in the main seat, tilting his head and looking at him with a smile.
In an instant, all the hairs on Qin Chen's body stood up, and he stood still as if he had been acupunctured.
"What are you doing? Come on, give a toast to Mr. Zhou! Your little business isn't even enough to fill Mr. Zhou's teeth. If he's willing to loosen up a little, the rice crumbs he leaves behind will be enough for you to eat for a year."
Qin Chen didn't know if the people around him knew about the grudge between him and Zhou Dang, otherwise why would this scene seem so deliberate.
"Hey! Don't say that. Mr. Qin also has a big family and a lot of business." Zhou Dang leaned back, his half-smile on his face making him look like he was asking for a beating.
"That was in the past. Now we have to rely on Mr. Zhou for help." The person standing next to Qin Chen was a small dealer with whom Qin Chen had cooperated many times. He usually had no contact with people of Zhou Dang's level, so it was estimated that he was really speaking for Qin Chen at this moment.
"I see that Mr. Qin is unwilling to give in, and he doesn't look like he is asking for help." Zhou Dang picked up the wine glass and drank as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong with you? Come and toast Mr. Zhou!" the man urged Qin Chen.
"No, my wife is waiting for me at home to have dinner together, so I won't drink with Mr. Zhou. I believe Mr. Zhou also understands the significance of his wife's cooking."
Qin Chen looked into Zhou Dang's eyes, and every word he said was heart-wrenching.
Zhou Dang narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Chen without saying a word.
Qin Chen turned and left. Damn it, he could just quit doing business! He didn't believe that Zhou Dang's words would still work if he left the business world!
Qin Chen walked out of the restaurant angrily and tried to find a car, but suddenly he remembered that he had taken a taxi. He walked along the roadside and stopped several cars, but no one paid any attention to him. He took out his phone and called an online taxi.
There was fire burning in his chest, and he kicked the wall beside him and yelled.
As luck would have it, Lin Sui had just gotten off work and called him.
"Hello." Qin Chen's tone was very bad.
"Are you going to a social event tonight? Can I drive to pick you up?" Lin Sui heard that Qin Chen was unhappy and asked patiently.
"No need, I can just take a taxi. You're not the only car in the world!" Qin Chen vented his anger on Lin Sui.
"What's wrong with you?" Even if Lin Sui felt that she was wrong, Qin Chen wouldn't talk to her in that tone.
"What's wrong with me? Thanks to your ex-husband, I became the laughing stock at the dinner party today! I don't know what those people are going to say to me now!"
"Zhou Dang, have you seen Zhou Dang?" Lin Sui was a little anxious, afraid that the two of them would have another conflict.
